It provides a results-focused structure with clearly identified outcome goals, project-specific information early in the RFP, and easy-to-navigate section headers with a table of contents. Proposer checklists and response workbooks guide vendors on required submissions, while guidance notes indicate where to replace stock language. Best fit for high-strategic-importance, new or risky procurements.","Results-Driven RFP Template\nAuthors: Elena Hoffnagle and Kate Mertz \u000bContributors: Colin Erhardt, Rebecca Graffy, Laura Merryfield, and Hope Patterson\nThis results-driven Request for Proposal (RFP) template will help state and local governments craft an inviting RFP that attracts quality proposals from vendors focused on improving outcomes for residents.\nWe know that for many government staff, writing an RFP can feel daunting. As you face an upcoming need for contracted services, you may be tempted to fall back on a previously issued version of an RFP or simply mimic what a peer city or state has done.\nIn our work across the country, we have helped state and local governments create greater public value by developing RFPs aimed at improving outcomes. With this RFP template, we offer a tried and tested RFP format that will help your government release an inviting, streamlined, and well-organized RFP. Key features of this template include:\nClearly identified outcomes to be achieved through the contracted service.\nA logical organizational structure with project-specific information at the beginning of the RFP.\nEasy-to-navigate section headers and table of contents.\nProposer checklists and response workbooks to help proposers know what to submit.\nWhile this template offers general best practices and guidance, you should seek guidance from your purchasing office and legal teams around conforming your RFP to jurisdiction-specific requirements.\nWhat types of RFPs are a good fit for this template?\nThis template is most useful for RFPs that are of high strategic importance, such as contracts that: have not made sufficient progress in achieving desired outcomes, reflect strategic policy priorities for the department or for executive leadership, are for new services or programs, are large in dollar amount or in program reach, or involve a high level of risk.\nSolicitations for relatively straightforward procurements – such as the purchase of goods or solicitations where price is the only factor evaluated – may not require the level of detail included in this template.\nHow should I use this template?\nThis template contains all major sections of a results-driven RFP. In some sections, you will need to supplement our stock language with text specific to your government (e.g., your government’s specific protest process). We have indicated instructional text as follows:\nRFP template guidance key:\nHighlight = Instructions for developing content specific to this template. Delete before finalizing.\nHighlight = Filler text that you should replace with information specific to your contract or jurisdiction.\nRemember to remove all highlights and brackets in the document before finalizing!\nWhat other resources are available?\nAs you develop your RFP using this template, you may want additional guidance on how to craft each section, how to manage the RFP development process and stakeholder needs, or how to take a broader strategic lens to your portfolio of procurement and contracting activities.
